Google Nexus 6 on T-Mobile

Re: N6 on tmo?

When the 12th rolls around I could pick up the phone at T-Mobile and insert my AT&T sim and not have any issues more than likely? So the only thing I would be giving up is the better return/warranty policy with the play store?

Of course, that rests partly on how well it would perform on Verizon's network using Hangouts for calls (I figure I'd port my number from T-Mobile to Google Voice), so if anyone has experience using Hangouts calling on Verizon, I'd love to hear it. The thought of unlimited, unthrottled 4G data on the phone, unlimited calling, and unlimited 4G hotspot (I also use it as my home internet connection) for a grand total of about $60/month is quite appealing

Jeremy, are you talking about unlimited data/hotspot on the VZW network for $60/month? Where do you get that?! LOL.. or are you already a VZW customer with the grandfathered unlimited data? Tks!

Since I am paying full price I'd much rather buy from the Play Store for most of the same reasons you list... The next problem is just how long of a delay are we looking at with getting one ordered from the Play store? If it was just a couple of weeks.. Fine.... (actually I don't need this so the reasonable side of me could wait until whenever.... but I wanted it like yesterday and the inpatient side of me always overrules the logical/reasonable side.)

I purchased a used Nexus 5 from Ebay and gave it to a friend as a gift about 4 months ago that lost his phone in house fire. About two months ago he told me the LCD screen didn't light up but had no damage since it was always in a case. I sent him the phone number to LG and all they wanted was proof of purchase which I took the print out from Ebay. LG replaced the phone for free but he did have to send the broken phone to them first and it took two weeks which is too long in my opinion. Sure wish I had tried Google's service first since they changed their policy but in the end he has a good replacement Nexus 5 phone.

Re: N6 on tmo?

I am not getting the feeling it's going to be a real pain in the **** to get a Nexus 6..... While out shopping today I stopped in two local T-Mobile stores and both "Store Managers" told me they won't actually have them in stock or in the store... Both actually used the same tag line "You'd probably have better luck just ordering one from the play store." Ummmmm you guys obviously don't get out much.... I told them both the play store sold in out in a matter of seconds and has been out of stock since then.... They both said I'd probably have to wait until later on when Google replenishes stock and order it from them directly..... REALLY????

Hopefully these two wonderfully helpful store managers are just as clueless as they appeared... The one store near me just told me they should have SOME in stock but couldn't say how many SOME was going to be... These two pointed me to the Play store like that was a realistic option..

Just going to be a pain to actually get one it seems.... I hope I am wrong... and well I hope these store managers are wrong too....

Google Nexus 6 T-Mo to have White Version

I talked with a T-Mobile employee today and he said they can preorder the white or blue and they'll arrive at the same time. I saw on the screen where you could pick which color you want. Apparently they will carry the white version too.

Yes, the hotspot plan - not the feature on a voice service, which is what probably 99% of those grandfathered are on. I've had it for.... something like 7-8 years. Originally it was 3g, but eventually they offered to bump it to 4g remaining unlimited if I'd signed a new 2yr agreement, an agreement I'd have signed even if it were to guarantee just the 3g! Now, Hangouts calling finally makes it possible to get back down to just 1 wireless service.

There are people who have it that decide to sell their unlimited service (it appears Verizon doesn't have an issue with this provided certain conditions are met, and some precautions have to be made to ensure you don't invalidate your eligibility). Here is a link to an explanation I found on all the fine print and what needs to transpire.

Best bet is to check the busiest store in your market, as they'll be much more likely to have them. Given that the Nexus 6 isn't a proven seller yet (the argument regarding that could be made strongly either way based on the Play store preorder debacle), and that it has a much higher cost associated with it, it's likely that T-Mobile will only seed initial stock in its 'A' stores that do high volume.

Since I'm on AT&T I'm hoping they are the 12th as well. Still trying to hold out for the play store because of their customer service. But if AT&T has any, I'll probably just get it there
